I have a MSI 980 and it has 2 8 pin power connectors. My PSU is a Seasonic 860 platinum and it has one PCI-e cable with an 8 pin and then another 8 pin jumpered off that. Should I use that one or run 2 separate 8 pin cables from the PSU?

Thanks.
 
Solution
if possible run two. if not then use the double. two cables allows more Amps, and less load on a single cable meaning more efficiency, as there is less resistance.
